I was expecting what it said, it was supposed to be an audio book. It has one book as an audio book the rest are ebooks, which I already have. So I wasted my money.. Ripped Off big time..!!!

I gave it 1 star because I had to rate it, there should be minus stars, make that minus 10 stars..

This is a great collection of success literature. All of the titles represent the best in this genre. I particularly enjoy Acres of Diamonds:

Russell Conwell's book, "Acres of Diamonds" was developed from a speech he delivered to church congregations over 5,000 times. The proceeds he earned from this speech are reputed to have given him a fortune, which he used to found Temple University in Philadelphia.

"Acres of Diamonds" is the story of a successful farmer in India named Al Hafed. Hafed is tempted by the allure of wealth and sells his farm to search the world for diamonds. Years later he dies penniless, having not found diamonds. However, back home the man who purchased Hafed's farm accidentally discovers a huge field of diamonds on Hafed's former land.

Conwell uses this story to illustrate that success often lies close at hand, if you are willing to open your eyes and mind to opportunity. Conwell further suggests that most people are "pygmies of their possible selves," rarely achieving the potential of their innate abilities or local opportunities. Conwell also discusses his basic philosophy of business and gives several rules, or suggestions, for budding entrepreneurs:

1. The seeds of fortune are close at hand. Stick with what you know, find your niche, and don't be swayed by the allure of "greener pastures."
2. Find out what people want, and fill that need. This sounds obvious, but many entrepreneurs start with a product or service, and then try to find a market for their product or service. Conwell advises finding the market first, then developing a product or service to meet that demand.
3. Make the best possible product and provide them to a large number of people.

"Acres of Diamonds" was first published in 1921. It is still valid today, and provides valuable lessons to anyone attempting to achieve financial success.

You may also want to read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth by Phillip Collinsowrth.

I too was lead to believe and under the impression this CD was several audio books. Not the case, there is only one audio book all the others are simply pdf file book. This CD is a rip-off.

This CD has (or should have) the PDF versions of the books listed. However, the file for the book "As a Man Thinketh" only has the book cover and the contents is missing. Additionally, the book "Acres of Diamonds" can be downloaded for free from the Internet, so I really got four books for the money I paid. I have to say, however, that those four books are complete and I didn't find any problems with them. Total contents of the CD: 3.7 MB on 7 PDF files (the 7th file is an advertisement to resell these CDs).

The product which I received was blank.

I was quite disappointed.

The company resent another Cd out and now it works.

Amazon was very prompt in making sure to send out a new one.

Thank you,
